Fashion Era Challenge: The '40s

Ya know, growing up, the '40s were alive for me because my parents were war babies. And now there's no feeling of it at all (mum has moved on to the iPhone completely and can only be reached by text message). I miss the ice box and asking the operator to get you something like Westbrae 5244 and running boards. A strange thought, but there you have it.

Ya ya. *Yes, Mother* and *Whatever.* Hehe Down to business: The Clothes

Rachy, you should do this for a living!! I'm serious, you nailed it again. Also, you would have been the most hilarious operator, and am suddenly picturing 1940s people making phone calls just for the opportunity to get to chat with you for a couple of seconds.

I feel I've stepped back in time to a much more gracious period. Seriously impressed with your ability to capture the era, not just in clothing and (amazing) hair, but those *poses*. Wow! The cut and colour of that suit are just perfect on you.

This is just perfect, Rachy. I love the Victory Roll and the strange arm- pose. Have you ever seen anyone stand like that in real life? Me neither!
You have a real talent for evoking an era - so creative.
